My invention rela-testo astove forburning l,the ordinary'fuelgas forheating purposes and 'the' object thereof is to provide a stove whichwill produce a maximum amount'of heat for gas consumed and which willprevent the lformation of. objectionable odors. y

In the drawings forming a part of this application Fig. 1 is a frontelevation of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on theline 2 2 of Fig. 5. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail ofra portionof one end.y Fig. 4' is a top plan of the base member and burner. Fig. 5is a back elevation. Referring to thev drawings the base member 5 is theshape of an elongated pan formed of sheet metal with parallel sides andends and with the bottom 6 uppermostas best shown in Fig. 2. On thecorners of 5 lare secured legs or feet 7 by bolts 8'. The outer casingis of sheet metal and is composed of narrow vertical corner portions 9,end portions 10 and back portion 11.VV Narrow horizontal finishingstrips 12 at the top and 13 at the bottom extend across the front. Inthe end walls are end linings 14 which are provided with guide grooves15 and 16 j which are further apart at thebottom than at the top.Grooves 15 are adjacent to the front and in them is received areticulated member 17 which is covered with asbestos wool. In grooves 16is received a sheet metal member 18, the face of which adjacent member17 is covered Vwith asbestos wool 19. The top of member 18 is benttoward member 17 and covers the space therebetween vas shown in Fig. 2.A gas burner 2O extends along the base of member 18 and projects throughthe lining and one end and has a regulating cock 21 thereon. Burner 20is of an approved construction. Just within the front members is a wirenetting 22. A cover 23 completes the stove. Cover 23 is of sheet metaland Vhas rounded edgeswhich spring over the out turned top edges of theouter casing and is Vheld there on by friction. Ornamental corner tips24 may be secured to the cover. Members 6- 14-15 and 18 form acombustion chamber with a reticulated front, the front and back Walls ofwhich are closerrat the top than at the bottom and all of the productsof combustion are compelled to pass through the reticulated front whichsoon becomes highly heated thereby insuring perfect combustion .cent tocock 21 is a lighting and' preventing. the formation.. of j ectionableodors.. Thev back.. wall-1.0i the., outer casmg Vmay have a dra-ft orvent port 25 which would be formed by punching in a portion thereof. Inthe end wall adjap port 26 into which alighted match may be insertedwhenv the burner is to be lighted. adjacent to burner 2O are air.' ports27 through which air passes to aid combustion.

VIn member 5 By the formation ofa combustion chamber with a reticulatedfront and the use of fa wire netting in front thereof there is no flareback when lighting the gas. The use 'of the rcticulated front and wire"netting prevents the ignition of clothing from the'lame yofthe burner.'yBy this construction theproducts of combustion pass outof thereticulated front over .the combustion chamber and down and out of theport lin the back` of the casing, thereby utilizing to the greatesteXtent the heat units ofthe fuel.

`Having `described my inventiony I claim-.-

1.'A heating gas stove comprising an outer casing composed of sheetmetal walls Y except the front wall, said frontwall being partly ofsheet metal and netting, the back wall having a port therein; acombustion chamber Within said casing at tached to the bottom wall ofthe casing and spaced from the back and front walls, said combustionrchamber havingY imperforate back and end and top walls withthe frontsurfaceof the back portion covered with asbestos wool; a front wall ofsaid combustion chamber being reticulated andcovered with asbestos whichdoes not close the openings, the front and back wallsfof said combustionchamberbeing spaced further apart at the bottom than at the top; and aburner in said combustion chamber.

2. A gas heating stove comprising a cas-v ing formed of an imperforatetop, and end and bottom walls and a back wall vwith a port therein and afront wall of wire netting reenforced at the top and sides with stripsof' metal, said casing being in horizontal section a parallelogram andhaving a lighting port in an end wall and air ports in the bottom wall,means to support said casing elevated; a combustion chamber mounted onthe bottom wall of said casing having the reticulated front wall spacedfrom the back wall further at the bottom than at the top, the otherwalls of said combustion chamber being imperforate; and a burner alongthe partly of wire net front, and having (ports inthe-,bottomV Wall anda lighting port in an end wail;

Wit-h 4a combustion chamber mounted on the bottom Wall and havingimperforate bank,

top and end vWalls 'and a retiouieted 'frontf- Wail.

4. In a gasheatmg stove thev Combination oi an outer easing; With acombustion Cham- Der mounted on Y`the ho'ttomA Wal]y 'of said casing ofless height than the casing, the back -andf1ont Walls of saidycombustion chambei1 being spaoed further apart at the bottom than at thetop, the'front Walls of said casing Y andV chamber being reticulated anda burner at thebottom of said combustion Chamber.

In Witness that I 'claim the foregoing I day of June, 1927. A
